As ARK: Survival Evolved moves ever closer to it’s eventual full release, its developers continue to push the limit on what the game offers. Today, a new patch was announced offering a new rideable dinosaur to players and some fresh new gear.
The patch was announced in a community update on the game’s Steam page alongside an announcement video showing off the new mount and gear. Players will be able to collect new SWAT-inspired riot gear and a powerful new Electric Prod, capable of incapacitating even strong opponents. In addition, players will now be able to build a greenhouse structure that helps with the growing of crops.
Onto to the meat of this patch, so to speak: the Gallimimus. This mount is a fast running, long jumping dinosaur that can seat three players at once. The last feature is the most important as it is the only mount currently available in vanilla ARK that can do this. Unfortunately, this comes at a cost. The Gallimimus cannot collect resources and it cannot fight. Its only defense is to run away, so players should be on the lookout for threats in an area before dismounting the Gallimimus.
Patch 233 and the Gallimimus are available now, exclusively on PC. if these additions aren’t enough to satisfy your survival needs in ARK, why not stop by our ARK mods page and have a look? We’re adding to it on a regular basis.
